How to prepare

STEP 1) Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 30 ml (1 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Gently knead with a chasen (tea whisk) until all lumps are gone.

❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)

This one was worth adjusting my methods for. It did really well at higher temperatures, so I would warm the bowl and kettle before pouring the boiling water again. Very pleasing mouth feel, I stopped sifting after realizing it magically does not clump when prepared in the slurry method. Very creamy, chocolatey, very low astringency. was my first venture into koicha.

As usucha it has good balance of umami and sweet, although the sweetness is slightly muted by its smokey flavor. As koicha it is still very creamy, but the flavor balance is somewhat lost - the bitter smoke intensifies and weighs down the delicate sweet aftertaste. But I'd still give it 5 stars because it is very fairly priced; and it's one of the best out there within the price range.
